If you thought no lawyer would have signed off on Trump’s 6 page letter to Speaker Pelosi, you thought wrong. This is the lawyer that signed off, which explains a lot. https://t.co/tYH4uG0krL

Wow. A measure in the National Defense Authorization Act meant to keep white nationalists out of the U.S. military no longer mentions “white nationalists” after Congress quietly altered the text after it initially passed the House.

Peter Morley is my #yearinhope nomination through the @obamafoundation@morethanmySLE has travelled to D.C. 15 times this year to advocate for people with disabilities.
He also testified in Congress 3 times in order to save the ACA.
He's a hero and a remarkable source of hope.
White House officials are TERRIFIED that more whistleblowers will be coming forward. They don’t know who to trust and are becoming more paranoid by the day. There’s a growing fear that the whole house of cards may soon collapse.
Please follow @Carolyn4GA7 for Congress in #GA07 and retweet this, too!
#CarolynBourdeaux can take on the architect of the abortion ban, @Renee_Unterman, who claims she's a fighter for women's issues. Really?

NEW: The architect of Georgia’s abortion ban is now officially running for Congress in #GA07. Join our team to ensure that she doesn’t go to Washington ➡️ https://t.co/j0yKyjH50B #GAPol
@Renee_Unterman@realDonaldTrump@GaRepublicans@GwinnettGOP Renee, listen to the Congressional Research Service. Trump's tax cuts benefited corporations, not American families. His tariffs are an added tax in Americans as we all see cost of goods increasing.

So the Chinese invest in science, technology, artificial intelligence, etc. and we invest in walls. Easy to predict who will win the 21st century if we continue this current irrational course.
NEW: @Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg spoke by phone with TRUMP this a.m., urging him not to ground 737 Max 8s after Sunday’s crash.
* Muilenburg has tried to cultivate Trump. He visited Mar-a-Lago after AF1 dust-up, & Boeing donated $1M to Trump inaugural.

@RepRobWoodall@GwinnettGOP@BarackObama@POTUS@housebudgetGOP Seriously? The federal budget deficit is soaring due to your #GOPtaxscam that only benefited the ultra rich. And your idea on how to pay for it: eliminate Medicare and Medicaid. Enjoy your career as a faux news talking head 🙄
It’s pretty clear that what’s driving Trump now isn’t a governing strategy. It isn’t a re-election strategy. It’s a “hold enough of your base to stop the Senate from convicting when the House impeaches” strategy. Trump must expect that the Mueller report will be very bad for him.
This ruling is a good first step, but federal law requires Gwinnett County to count every eligible vote. We will continue to fight to have every eligible vote counted and every voter’s voice heard. #GAPol#GA07

Staggering: if every uncalled race breaks as I expect, House Dems' class of 61 freshmen would include *35* women & just 19 white men. By contrast, Republicans' class of 31 would include 29 white men & just *one* woman.
So, now that Jeff Sessions has been fired, I have questions.
1) Rod Rosenstein is going to the White House for a "previously scheduled meeting" with Trump. He is already toothless because Matthew Whitaker outranks him as acting Attorney General. If Trump fires him, do we march?
FACT: A President under investigation for *firing the FBI Director* & obstructing justice who recently watched guilty pleas & flipping by his personal lawyer, campaign chair, deputy chair & national security adviser just fired his handpicked AG & replaced him with a loyalist.
